NewsNerdsJobs for journalists who code
There are more and more jobs available for journalists who also can write or customize software, develop interactive online presentations of news, build mobile apps, and more. And now these jobs are a bit easier to find…
Matt Waite, professor of journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has been collecting a list of news coding jobs and compiling them into a Google Docs spreadsheet. Today he announced that he’s made this list a bit easier to access by repackaging it as a website: NewsNerdJobs.
According to the site: “The news business needs people who can code in the public interest and build the digital news products of tomorrow. If you can code, there’s a job for you. Some of the top media companies in the U.S. are hiring developers right now.”
This list includes journalism internships that involve coding, gathered by NYTimes.com graphics editor Kevin Quealy.
Also, news organizations can add their development jobs to the list via the site.
“It’s quick and dirty for now,” said Waite. “I’ll improve it as time allows.”
The News for Digital Journalists blog is made possible by a grant to USC Annenberg from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
